• Kate Middleton and Prince William are 'deeply concerned' about the continuing revelations about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein

• A spokesperson for the Prince and Princess of Wales revealed the couple's feelings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where William is about to start a short visit

• The couple remains "focused on the victims," the rep said

Kate MiddletonandPrince Williamare showing their support for the victims of the late convicted sex offenderJeffrey Epstein.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have been "deeply concerned" by the revelations that have continued to emerge in the wake of the release of millions of pages of documents in the Epstein files, the couple's spokesperson said on Feb. 9.

"I can confirm The Prince and Princess have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations. Their thoughts remain focused on the victims," the spokesperson added from Saudi Arabia, where William is at the start of an official three-day visit.

It is the first time that William and Kate have directly addressed the scandal, which has seen William's uncle, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the formerPrince Andrew, face increased scrutiny over his connections with Epstein.

When Mountbatten-Windsorwas stripped of all his royal titles and honors— and told to surrender the lease on his home Royal Lodge — by his brotherKing Charles, 77, in October 2024, those close to William and Kate made it clear that they supported his actions. They shared the Buckingham Palace statement at the time.

That statement concluded, "Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse," the statement concluded.

Bad Bunnymade history this week as the first-ever solo Latino artist to headline theSuper Bowl Halftime Show. Shortly after his stellar performance on Sunday, the rapper pulled off a surprising social media move that has stirred conversations once again.

Bad Bunny clears his Instagram post halftime show

Bad Bunny has wiped hisInstagram gridand removed his profile picture, shortly after performing at the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026. The "DtMF" hitmaker has reportedly unfollowed everyone on the social media platform as well.

The Puerto Rican star currently boasts over 51 million followers on Instagram. But when fans visit his account now, all they can find is an empty grid and a blank profile icon. However, the link to his new album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos", remains active in the bio.

As to what prompted this drastic move remains unclear. Some fans speculate that the singer could be gearing up for a new musical era, and a big announcement is on the horizon. Others believe that he could simply be taking a break from social media after delivering an electrifying Super Bowl XL performance.

Bad Bunny's Halftime show featured several memorable moments with guest appearances by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. Pedro Pascal also made a surprise cameo, holding up a ball that said 'Together We Are America'. The set included a medley of his popular hits like Tití Me Preguntó, MONACO, and BAILE INoLVIDABLE.

The Halftime Show marked a historic milestone as the first Super Bowl performance performed entirely in Spanish. Sharing powerful messages like "The only thing more powerful than hate is love," theGrammy-winning starproudly celebrated his Puerto Rican heritage while promoting love and unity.

For now, the wait continues for an update from Bad Bunny regarding his social media activities. The singer has yet to announce when he might restore his old Instagram grid.

• New couple Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were spotted watching the Super Bowl together.

• A lip reader decoded their conversation, and it looks like Lewis is getting ready to introduce Kim to his mom.

• News of the couple's relationship broke in early February, FYI.

Some celebs go Instagram official, some celebs go red carpet official, but Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton took things up a notch on Sunday and went Super Bowl official at Levi's Stadium. The new couple were spotted sitting in the stands to watch the Seahawks vs the Patriots, and a lip reader wastednotime decoding their conversation.

According to Nicola Hickling in theDaily Mail, Lewis told Kim "No I don't take just any girl to my mom, I mean you're gonna meet someday, she is very excited to see you." Kim then responded with a simple "okay."

I mean, sounds like things between these two are progressing if Kim is about to meet Lewis' mom!!!

Meanwhile, body language expert Judi James also chimed in, saying "there is the pose that registers undivided attention between them, which is a form of non-verbal stroke when you're on a date. Kim actually leans back to take in Lewis visually as he speaks and this flattering 'stroke' produces a "purr" response from him which is visible in the way his facial features soften and he talks through a smile of pleasure."

She added that "Kim adds to the flirting when the tip of her tongue appears at the side of her mouth. This is usually seen as a gesture of playful desire or interest."

Wow, lots to process here.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Israel PresidentIsaac Herzogstarted a state visit Monday aimed at consoling grieving Australian Jews and improving bilateral relations by laying a wreath and stones at the site of anantisemitic attack in Sydneythat left 15 dead.

Herzog met victims' families and survivors of the Dec. 14 attack on a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach. Only one of the two alleged gunmen survived following a gunbattle with police.Naveed Akramhas beencharged with committing a terrorist act, murdering 15 people and wounding another 40 in what was Australia'sworst mass shooting in 29 years.

Herzog laid the wreath and two stones he had brought from Jerusalem at the rain-swept Bondi Pavillion near the site of the massacre. The pavilion became on impromptu memorial in the days after the tragedy as flowers and cards were placed there.

Herzog says he's in Sydney to show solidarity and love

The Israeli president said the stones would remain at Bondi in memory of the victims and as a reminder that good people of all faiths and nations "will continue to hold strong in the face of terror, violence and hatred, and that we shall overcome this evil together."

"We were shaken to our core when we first heard about the Bondi Beach attack. Our heart missed a beat, like all Israelis and all Jews. And I'm here to express solidarity, friendship, and love," Herzog told reporters.

"And I also believe that this is an opportunity to upgrade the relations between Israel and Australia because we are two democracies that share values together and we are confronting the roots of evil from all over the world. And we should do so together," he added.

The visit to Bondi within hours of the president landing in Sydney with his wife Michal Herzog came with tight security. Police snipers were visible posted on Bondi roof tops.

Herzog will also visit Melbourne and the national capital Canberra before he returns to Israel on Thursday. Sydney and Melbourne are Australia's largest cities and home to 85% of the nation's Jewish population.

Protests were held in Sydney and Melbourne later Monday over how Israel has waged thewar against the militant Hamas group in Gazaand treated Gaza's civilian population. Hamas attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, triggering the war.

Mainstream Jewish groups have welcomed the visit of Herzog, a former leader of the centrist Labor Party who now plays a largely ceremonial role.

Some Jews say Israeli president is not welcome in Australia

The smaller Jewish Council of Australia community group ran full-page ads in Sydney and Melbourne newspapers on Monday, endorsed with the names of 687 Australian Jews, that said: "Herzog does not speak for us and is NOT WELCOME HERE."

"We refuse to let our collective grief be used to legitimize a leader whose rhetoric has been part of inciting a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and has contributed to the illegal annexation of the West Bank," the council's executive officer Sarah Schwartz said.

Jewish leaders initiated the invitation extended by Governor-GeneralSam Mostyn, Australia's equivalent of Israel's president, at Prime MinisterAnthony Albanese'srequest.

Albanese and his Israeli counterpartBenjamin Netanyahuhave been openly hostile toward each other since the Australian announced six months ago that his government wouldrecognize a Palestinian state.

On Monday, Herzog said he welcomed the "positive steps" the Australian government had taken to tackle antisemitism since the Bondi attack, which was allegedly inspired by the Islamic State group.

The Australian Parliament last monthrushed through legislationthat lowers the threshold requirements for groups to be banned for hate speech.

The government also announced its highest form of public inquiry, aroyal commission, would investigatethe nature, prevalence and drivers of antisemitism in general, as well as the circumstances of the Bondi shooting.

Herzog said he shared the frustrations of the victims' families that more had not been done to prevent such an attack on Australia's Jewish community.

"These frustrations were shared by many, many of us, including myself," Herzog said.

"I've seen this wave surge all over the world, and I've seen it in many countries, including Canada, Great Britain, the United States, and Australia — all English-speaking countries," Herzog added.

Police tighten restrictions on Sydney protests

After the Bondi shooting was declared a terrorist attack, the New South Wales state parliament rushed through legislation increasing police powers to arrest protesters.

Police can restrict protests for two weeks at a time for up to 90 days following a declared terrorist attack. Police last week continued the restrictions for another two weeks in an effort to contain civil discord in Sydney during Herzog's visit.

On Monday evening, police clashed with hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside Sydney Town Hall. They sprayed the crowd with pepper spray and several protesters were arrested.

The protest had continued after the Palestine Action Group organizers lost a court challenge to a police order preventing them from marching from the Town Hall to the New South Wales Parliament.

In Melbourne, 5,000 protesters gathered outside downtown Flinders Street Railway Station, then marched several blocks to the State Library, blocking evening peak-hour traffic, police said.

A 20-year-old woman was arrested after allegedly burning two flags and causing fire damage to a tram stop, police said. She was released and was expected to face charges of willful damage, police said.

Earlier, Herzog said protests targeting him were mostly attempts to "undermine and delegitimize" Israel's right to exist.

Hawaii is essentially shut down today as heavy rain and brutal winds hit the islands, causing thousands to lose power and raising concerns about dangerous flash flooding.

Gov. Josh Green announced on Sunday that all public schools, state offices, courthouses and the state legislature would be closed Monday. All University of Hawaii campuses are also closed.

Weather.commeteorologistJennifer Graysays Hawaii is getting hit with a little bit of everything right now.

She explains that the combination of a stalled front and an area of low pressure west of the island chain is providing the fuel for these conditions.

"Winds could gust as high as 60-70 mph through Monday, and we could see flooding as well. Snowfall is also expected across the higher elevations on the Big Island where 10-16 inches of snow is possible." Gray said.

In a news conference, the governor said one of his main concerns is the danger of high winds on roads, adding that landslides are a major worry.

"We had one of our staff see a tree fall right on a power line right in front of her this morning, we just want to make sure everybody is very safe," Green said Sunday.

Early Monday, more than 4,000 customers were without electricity, according toPowerOutage.us.

A social media post from Hawaiian Electric showed crews working to repair downed power poles on Sunday.

Residents are being urged to stay off the roads today. Parks and camping areas have also been closed.

Flash flooding was already reported on Sunday.

"We're looking at very intense rainfall rates, it's not so much the amount of rain that comes down but how quickly it comes down as well," said John Bravender with the National Weather Service in Honolulu.

The governor also issued anemergency proclamationthat mobilizes state resources for response efforts, including Hawaii's National Guard. That proclamation is in effect at least through Wednesday.

Gray said conditions should begin to improve on Tuesday, however unsettled weather should last through mid week.

Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News.

The official statistics contained in the DHS document, which had not been previously reported publicly, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's far-reaching deportation operations across the U.S.

The internal DHS figures undermine frequent assertions by the Trump administration that its crackdown on illegal immigration is primarily targeting dangerous and violent criminals living in the U.S. illegally, people Mr. Trump and his lieutenants have regularly called  the "worst of the worst."

The statistics show ICE has dramatically increased arrests since Mr. Trump's return to office. Nearly 60% of ICE arrestees over the past year had criminal charges or convictions, the document indicates. But among that population, the majority of the criminal charges or convictions are not for violent crimes.

For example, while Mr. Trump and his aides often talk about immigration officials targeting murderers, rapists and gangsters, the internal data indicate that less than 2% of those arrested by ICE over the past year had homicide or sexual assault charges or convictions. Another 2% of those taken into ICE custody were accused of being gang members.

Nearly 40% of all of those arrested by ICE in Mr. Trump's first year back in office did not haveany criminal recordat all, and were only accused of civil immigration offenses, such as living in the U.S. illegally or overstaying their permission to be in the country, the DHS document shows. Those alleged violations of U.S. immigration law are typically adjudicated by Justice Department immigration judges in civil — not criminal — proceedings.

While Mr. Trump's deportation program enjoyed majority support during the 2024 presidential campaign and his early months in office, public opposition to his crackdown has grown significantly because of concerns about agents' tactics in cities like Minneapolis and over who is being swept up by their operations.

ACBS News polllast month found that Americans' support for Mr. Trump's deportation efforts had fallen to 46%, down from 59% atthe start of his second term. Just over 60% of those surveyed said immigration agents were being "too tough."

CBS News reached out to the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, requesting comment on the data reported in the document.

What the statistics show about ICE arrests under Trump

The DHS document obtained by CBS News indicates that ICE made roughly 393,000 arrests between Jan. 21, 2025, Mr. Trump's first full day back in power, and Jan. 31 of this year.

ICE classified around 229,000 of those arrested as "criminal aliens," because they had criminal charges or convictions. About 153,000 of the arrests were categorized as "other administrative arrests," or detentions of immigrants lacking any criminal record. Nearly 11,000 of the arrests were "criminal arrests" of noncitizens taken into ICE custody due to new criminal allegations, like interfering with operations.

In total, ICE made more than triple the number of administrative arrests, including of criminals, over the past year under Mr. Trump than the agency did in fiscal year 2024, when itrecorded113,000 administrative arrests during the Biden administration.

The percentage of ICE arrests of those with criminal histories, however, went down, from 72% in fiscal year 2024, to nearly 60% in Mr. Trump's first year.

The figures indicate that roughly 7,500 — or 1.9% — of the ICE arrests involved individuals accused of belonging to gangs like Tren de Aragua, a criminal organization with origins in Venezuela's prisons. Mr. Trump initially made the gang a focal point of his crackdown, deporting more than 200 men accused of being Tren de Aragua members to anotorious prison in El Salvador. A CBS News and "60 Minutes"investigationlast year found most of the men did not have any apparent criminal record.

The internal DHS document lays out the most serious charge or conviction for those arrested by ICE with criminal histories.

The document lists 2,100 arrests of those with homicide charges or convictions; 2,700 arrests of those with robbery offenses; and 5,400 arrests involving individuals charged with or convicted of sexual assault. Another 43,000 arrestees are listed as having assault charges or convictions. About 1,100 had kidnapping charges or convictions and 350 had arson offenses listed.

Added together, the number of ICE arrests involving individuals charged with or convicted of the aforementioned violent crimes represents around 13.9% of all arrests.

The document also says ICE arrested 22,600 individuals with charges or convictions involving dangerous drugs, while another 6,100 had weapons offenses on their records. Nearly 30,000 of those arrested by ICE had been charged with or convicted with driving while under influence or intoxicated. Another 5,000 arrestees had burglary charges or convictions.

The document says another 118,000 detainees had criminal charges or convictions for "other" crimes. Those could include immigration-related crimes, like entering the U.S. illegally, a misdemeanor for the first-time offense, or re-entering the country after being deported, a felony.

The data in the DHS document does not include arrests by Border Patrol agents, who the Trump administration has deployed to places far away from the U.S.-Mexico border, like Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis. In those cities, Border Patrol agents have undertaken aggressive and sweeping arrest operations, targeting day laborers at Home Depot parking lots and stopping people, including U.S. citizens, to question them about their immigration status.

Shock over Lindsey Vonn's Olympic crash; Trump calls Hunter Hess a loser for comments on politics

Extended Interview: Don Henley

Super Bowl 60saw the Seattle Seahawks claim victory over the New England Patriots, but there were plenty of other winners — and losers — off the field during the game, with some brands scoring with their commercials and others fumbling their attempts for a loss.

The stakes are high for advertisers, with 30 seconds of airtime fetching as much as $10 million in Sunday's game. Brands pay additional millions tocraft their commercials, hire celebrity spokespeople and market their ads before the game.

The most effective Super Bowl ads this year delivered an emotional or humorous punch while also clearly conveying the importance or utility of their products, according to Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. The annual post-game ad breakdown ranked Google's spot for its Gemini artificial intelligence service as the best this year because it tugged at the heartstrings while also showing how the platform could be used to picture a newly bought home with fresh paint, a redecorated child's bedroom, and a cozy garden.

"Google's ad was really a product demonstration more than anything — most of the successful companies really communicated something about the brand," Tim Calkins, clinical professor of marketing and co-lead of the Kellogg School Super Bowl Advertising Review, told CBS News.

AI-related products also dominated Super Bowl 60 commercials, with nearly a quarter of the game'spre-released adsdealing with artificial intelligence in some way, according to an analysis from ad research firm iSpot.

Coinbase, meanwhile, earned a failing grade from Kellogg's ad review for using a Backstreet Boys song with karaoke-like lyrics. The ad failed to show viewers what Coinbase does or why they might want to use it, the business school said.

"It wasn't clear what they were advertising or what the benefit was," Calkins said. "Ultimately, a Super Bowl spot is about building the business and building the brand — you have to be clear about what the product is and why someone should buy it."

The Super Bowl 60 commercials leaned heavily on themes of kindness and community, with the ads ranked as the most heartwarming in more than five years, according to an analysis by Daivid, an AI-based advertising company. It adjudged theRocket commercial, featuring Lady Gaga singing Mr. Rogers' theme song, "Won't You Be My Neighbor," as the most emotionally engaging Super Bowl ad this year.

Best: Google Super Bowl ad

Google's ad, titled "New Home," touted the tech giant's AI capabilities, showing a mom and young son using its Gemini app to depict what their new house would look like with a new garden and different colored walls. The ad oozes cuteness, featuring an adorable baby, a charming house and a faithful family dog.

The Kellogg panel, which ranks the ads with grades from A to F, gave the Google ad an "A."

Best: Pepsi Super Bowl commercial

Pepsi's commercial had a "very simple premise," with a polar bear — an icon associated with rival Coca-Cola — picking Pepsi in a blind taste test, Calkins told CBS News.

Later in the ad, two polar bears are captured drinking Pepsi Zero Sugar sodas on a kisscam, referencing the infamousColdplay kisscam momentfrom 2025. Rather than shrinking from the spotlight, the bears embrace the moment, lifting their Pepsi cans for all to see.

"The ad makes people feel good about Pepsi — that is really the goal, for people who drink Pepsi to feel good," Calkins noted. "Some might debate if it helped Coke as well because the polar bears are so associated with Coke, but it brought you into the spot, and it had that great Coldplay moment."

Worst: Coinbase Super Bowl ad

Coinbase's ad got a failing grade from the Kellogg review panel because the pared-down commercial was unclear about what the crypto exchange does — or even that it has anything to do with cryptocurrency.

Worst: Ai.com Super Bowl commercial

Ai.com's ad earned a failing grade from the Kellogg review because its panelists said they were left unsure of what the service could do — a weakness when other AI-related ads provided strong messaging about the value of their products, Calkins said.

"Anthropic did a good job with differentiating its message — it was clear what it was and why you should use it," Calkins said. "Ai.com was a super confusing spot because it wasn't clear what the product is, or why you should go and use it."
